Live results for the March 2024 election, including on-the-ground analysis and precinct-level data visualizations.
San Francisco’s March primary election is upon us. Residents will be voting on seven ballot measures and dozens of candidates — and we’re tracking them all.
I walked into the salon and was greeted by Aaron, one the poll workers, sitting back with his feet up in a salon chair. But as the two sit to get their hair shaved and watch some voters trickle in to cast their ballots, they appear to be getting some ideas.A barber cutting a young boy’s hair at Ana’s Salon in the Mission, which is doubling as a polling place on March 5, 2024.

As for the proposal to drug screen welfare recipients, he was confused. “I thought it was settled that drug testing wasn’t helpful — that people weren’t taking advantage of benefits.” “Do I love the Bay Area? Do I want the city to be better? Yes,” Castaneda said. “If I want to see changes, I have to actually do something … I want the city to find its beauty again.”
Riley Manlapaz, a first-time clerk, says the morning has been slow, “but I think the bulk of people, we’ve been told is going to be evening rush hour.” As of 10:30 a.m., only about half of the voting booths were filled.

They’re in for a “very long day,” says Sara. She expects they will stay until at least 9 p.m. “In 11 hours, we might get 15 ,” she joked. Elections are complicated and discerning the will of the electorate even more so — but this much isn’t: Elections professionals say Californians’ apathy this election season is due to “organic reasons.” As in: A snoozer ballot.
But we’ll put the No. 1-with-a-bullet outcome right here at the top — and this holds true regardless of who or what wins:
